These past few weeks have been pretty rough for BioWare Austin, the developer company for Star Wars: The Old Republic, and the publishing company Electronic Arts. From the rumored layoffs of 500–1,000 employees EA was going to do to the subscriptions of SWTOR going down nearly 25%, there hasn't been much of a positive outlook for the game nor for EA or BioWare.

Fanart, like fanfiction, is a broad and often intimidating realm for one to navigate. The Star Wars fandom has so much fantastic artwork for it out there, it's almost hard to grasp. Today I'll show you two fantastic and quite famous fan-artists, whose art in general and for Star Wars in particular is becoming more well known across our galaxy.

Another TOR-iffic Awareness article here! I will just be recapping the current events going on at The Old Republic Cantina,
that I believe none of you should miss! Participating in these events
will make the community a great place to go to everyday, where new
things will always pop up and everyone would like to mingle with others
at any time. Having a community with participation will bind us all
together, always helping to bring something fresh to the table and being
able to further enhance gameplay on Star Wars: The Old Republic, just the few of many things people already participating would like.
I just cannot fathom how some will "support" and then stay in the
background, not really putting their effort in a community they were
invited to join that they'd possibly like. So please, I urge you all to
support us! This would also mean a lot to communities that have been
helping us out like The Star Wars Underworld, Order of the Sith, For F***'s sake it's Star Wars, and more (that last page mentioned was censored for the younglings).

Fanfiction is a thrilling and entertaining world for the fan of any movie or book series, and especially for Star Wars fans!! Throughout the years I've found some fantastic works of fanfiction, many of which I'll be reviewing for this site! I'll review stories and take you step by step into the world of fanfiction.

Yesterday, BioWare kicked off a dynamic event for Star Wars: The Old Republic,
with a surprising Rakghoul Virus Outbreak which has been contained on
the desert world of Tatooine. The Rakghoul plague, which BioWare
invented for the original Knights of the Old Republic, is somewhat like a zombie apocalypse in the Star Wars universe.
